With her young daughter in tow, Mhairi McPhail flees her crumbling marriage in New York and accepts an assignment on the remote Hebridean island of Fascaray, where her grandfather was born. There, she will set up a museum in honor of the island's celebrated poet, Grigor McWatt, and write his biography. As Mhairi struggles to adapt to island life and put her troubles behind her, she begins to unearth the astonishing secret history of the poet, who has long been regarded by many as the custodian of Fascaray's--and Scotland's--soul. Hame builds an intricate world around the life and work of McWatt, weaving the poet's own writing, extracts from Mhairi's journal, and tales of Fascaray itself into an extraordinary story of identity, love, belonging and the universal quest for home.

I didn't quite warm to the author's approach and language. Epic descriptions of a tiny, fictional world with familiar elements from history, geology, and everything else imaginable, mixed with Scottish poetry on the one hand. The New York author's experiences on the spot, interspersed with flashbacks, on the other hand. It was too artificial, too exhausting for me.
